Courses
Graduate diplomas
Graduate diplomas are coursework programs normally of one year’s full-time duration or part-time equivalent, which provide the opportunity for students to specialise in a particular field of interest. Units may be selected from existing pass degree units, or from a combination of pass degree and fourth year units in the target area. While these graduate diplomas provide an opportunity for students to extend their knowledge in the selected area, they do not satisfy entry requirements to a higher degree. Depending on the units studied and results gained, they may be used to satisfy entry to Honours.
Entry requirements
Admission to a graduate diploma normally requires the completion of a pass degree of at least three years’ full-time duration. In certain cases, a major in a specific discipline may be required.
Entry requirements for the specialised graduate diplomas are outlined below under Disciplines and areas of study.
